Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

Now that both sides have reached an agreement, things are much easier to handle. The eldest son of the Prince of Qinghe was immediately adopted into the royal family.

Since the second prince was the rightful heir, and neither the third nor the eldest prince had formally inherited the throne, the prince was adopted by the second prince.

Although he was adopted by the Second Prince, there were hardly any people left in the Second Prince's line. This was because after the Second Prince's eldest son ascended the throne as the young emperor and died without an heir, the Second Prince's line attacked everyone around them, forcing the First and Third Princes' people to retaliate. During this retaliatory action, the Second Prince's empress and her family members were almost all killed.

It's normal for these people to die, because they showed no mercy to the other two factions as well. So how can you expect others to show them any mercy?
The fact that most of them are dead is naturally a good thing for Linlang's child to ascend to the throne. Otherwise, the Second Prince's Empress's family is very powerful, and they would definitely not agree to let Linlang's family live in the palace. Instead, they would definitely say that the Second Prince's Empress, who is his mother, should take care of him after the Qinghe Prince's child is adopted by the Second Prince. They would not allow Linlang and others to enter the palace to take care of him, which is not what Linlang wants to see.

Now, after several rounds of fierce fighting, the power of the Second Prince's faction has been almost completely destroyed. In addition, the adoption of the Qinghe Prince's child was the result of discussions among the neutral ministers of the previous dynasty. These ministers wanted to control the Qinghe Prince's child, so they would not allow the remnants of the Second Prince's faction to control him. Therefore, although the Qinghe Prince's child was adopted by the Second Prince, the remnants of the Second Prince's faction could not do anything to the Qinghe Prince's child.

Thanks to the checks and balances of the former court officials, Linlang and the others entered the palace smoothly and were not controlled by the Second Prince's faction. Of course, even if these people wanted to control them, they couldn't, since Linlang was no pushover. If they really wanted to control Linlang and the others, they would probably die without even knowing how.

Ding, still controlled by the remnants of the Second Prince's faction, was stunned to hear that the Prince of Qinghe's son had ascended to the throne just like in her world. She thought that although the various forces in this life were also fighting fiercely, it was actually much simpler than in her life. In her life, after these forces fought to the death, none of them would submit to the others. So they were not satisfied with just fighting in the court. They felt that fighting in the court would not lead to anything. They wanted to see who had the strongest military force. Then they brought in the capital's army and troops from all over the country to defend the emperor, causing chaos in the capital. In the end, after they were all killed, the Prince of Qinghe's son ascended the throne, but the capital was already controlled by military generals. How things would develop in the future was hard to say.

After her rebirth, she thought things would develop the same way in the future. However, she was not afraid that her son would encounter these things in the future. After all, she was a person with special abilities. She would accumulate more energy, and when her son took the throne, if those military generals dared to leave, she would kill them directly, and they wouldn't be able to cause any trouble.

In this life, these military generals did not actually enter the capital.

After careful consideration, Ding realized that it was mostly related to herself. Various forces had seized her, probably thinking that she was more useful and easier to control than those military men. So after getting her, they didn't think about bringing any more military generals to the capital, which led to the capital being spared a military disaster because of her existence.

Despite her great contributions, she is now on the verge of death—beaten by the Second Prince's faction.

This group of people always blamed her for the death of the Second Prince's entire family. Even when the ministers of the previous dynasty welcomed the son of the Prince of Qinghe to inherit the throne, these remnants did not let her go. After all, their wealth and honor were tied to the Second Prince and his son. Now that it was the Prince of Qinghe's son who was adopted by the Second Prince, what did it have to do with them? The Prince of Qinghe's son had his own forces supporting him and would not allow these people to interfere anymore.

Given this, the hatred in these people's hearts will naturally not dissipate, and they will still hold onto Ding Shi. Therefore, it is quite normal for them to beat her.

Because Ding's energy was drained by these people, he was unable to buy medicine to heal himself or cast a shield to protect himself from the damage. Naturally, he was severely injured and was even on the verge of death.

She struggled to persuade them to let her stay, arguing that her abilities were so great that if they kept her, she could accumulate enough power to help them control the Prince of Qinghe's child, and they would still gain wealth and honor. However, the remaining forces of the Second Prince's faction did not believe this, mainly because they did not think they could keep Ding Shi under their control forever.

Since there's no guarantee that we can keep the Ding family under our control, it would be better to kill them.

They cannot have it, nor can they let others have it, lest those who can control the children of the Prince of Qinghe get it, which would help them to better control the children of the Prince of Qinghe, and then there would be even less of a chance for them.

Although Lady Ding claimed she had the ability to control the Prince of Qinghe's child, they couldn't guarantee they could control her. In that case, it would be better to kill Lady Ding, who had such an ability. If she were dead, no one would have her, and they could compete with their rivals on an equal footing, perhaps having a chance to control the Prince of Qinghe's child. Conversely, if Lady Ding didn't die and fell into the hands of someone else, they would truly have no hope of competing with them.

Given these considerations, it's quite normal that the Second Prince's faction wanted to kill Lady Ding to prevent others from having the opportunity to possess her and surpass them.

Since they wanted to kill Ding, then Ding would naturally not survive.

Even though Ding tried her best to escape, she didn't have enough energy and eventually died at the hands of the Second Prince's faction.

Ding never imagined that after being reborn with such powerful abilities, she would end up living a worse life than in her previous life. It infuriated her.

The Second Prince's faction was right, because indeed, people from other factions discovered that the Ding family was in the hands of the Second Prince's faction and wanted to take her away from them.

The opposing force is far greater than the remnants of the Second Prince's power. Since they have discovered Ding's whereabouts, if it weren't for the Second Prince's forces killing Ding, she would have inevitably fallen into their hands. This would have strengthened the opposing force, making it impossible for the remnants of the Second Prince's faction to contend with them, and ultimately causing them to lose control of the Qinghe Prince's child.

Now, this group of people has discovered that Lady Ding is in their hands, but Lady Ding is already dead. Even if they know that Lady Ding is in the hands of the Second Prince's faction, it's useless.

In the end, the group found nothing and was informed by the Second Prince's faction that they considered Lady Ding a menace and therefore had her killed. Hearing this made them want to vomit blood. (End of Chapter)
